I wonder what would happen if we Dems just ignored all the Republican...

[YvonneCa]

...drama? Just gave it no AIR...let it waste away through lack of attention?

[Speck Tater]

1. It's not the Dems that areg giving it air

It's the vast Republican noise machine, including, but by no means limited to Fox.

3. Exactly! In 2000, we've seen what happens when Democrats don't fight back.

And look where that got us.

[Puzzler]

2. The problem with Republican "drama" is that...

... is gets amplified 1,000-fold by the media.

4. It would be nice in theory, but impractical in reality.

Think back to previous elections when the candidate, who decided to be above the feces slinging, lost.

5. dems could find values they believe in and promote them then ACT on them? there's a thought nt

[Permanut]

6. If we do nothing, we will pay for it.

Not only that, the soap opera is so entertaining!

[BlueToTheBone]

7. Well, look around. This is what happens when we ignore their nonsense.

Like small children, they will up the noise until we "the adults" step in.

[KT2000]

8. The drama IS the news

that is what they report on. If Dems were to sit it out - as has been the strategy in previous elections, we would lose.

[BarbaRosa]

9. I'm ignoring them as hard as I can,

and yet they persist.

No really we need to stay vigilant, keep track of them and shine light on their evil at every opportunity.
